When Helios came to me about his cattle, I wasn't sure what I should do. Odysseus obviously couldn't control his men. If he were there I'm sure he would've stopped this. Helios is furious and threatens to shine in the Underworld instead of on Earth. I guess I have no choice, but to kill Odysseus' men. He is a good man, but his men sacrificed Helios' cattle, therefore I must punish them. They were on their ship when I found them. I struck lightning on their ship, killing them one by one. Odysseus is now alone on his ship trying to find his way home. I have finished what I was told to do. I don't know if what I did was right, but I guess it had to be done. Odysseus is an intelligent man. He'll make it on his own. Now I will return home for my duty here is finished.

It was almost time. Odysseus was stringing the bow and preparing to shoot it. Soon I would use thunder to signal Odysseus. He was sliding his hand down the cord when I knew it was almost time. He was about to shoot his bow. The suitors' faces all changed and that's when I knew it was time. Athena gave me word. Then, I made a loud crack of thunder. That was my signal to Odysseus. He shot his bow and it went through every socket ring and didn't touch one. He won the challenge. My job is finished. Odysseus has won Penelope back. Good luck in the future, my friend.
